Hi,
I just managed make my midi keyboard work with Ubuntu 7.10 and now also M&B seems to work
. Soon I have no reason to start Windows again. Not that I'm against it...
What I did:
1. Installed Wine with Graphical Synaptics Package manager
2. Started M&B installation by starting installer with command ./mountandblade_0892_setup.exe (Double Click the icon would have probably worked as well...)
3. After the installation I just double clicked the Mount&Blade Icon on the Desktop and It actually worked with sounds and music.
After trying it out a bit I changed the wine settings so that "Emulate a virtual desktop" is enabled. Only problem I see now is that mouse look does not work around but seems to has some limits. I have a feeling I had the same problem on Windows but can't be sure. There was no need to copy dx files.
This can't be simpler. All thanks to people who have worked for Wine. And thanks for pointing out that M&B works on Wine
.
Some System Details:
- Ubuntu Linux 7.10
- Intel Pentium 4 CPU
- Asus GeForce 7900 GTX using nVidia provided drivers
- Sound Blaster Live!
- 2GB memory
Best Regards,
H
